The person in the picture is Me!!!
Hi my name is Amberrose Mccrillis The thing i love to do more than anything in the world is listen to music i think if there was no such thing as music my life would be totally different. My favorite singer/band is Eminem i think he is the king of rap i listen to him all the time, i have almost all his songs on my mp3 player. I have 6 siblings and it can get pretty hectic at my house sometimes i want to run out of the house screaming but i try so hard not to go absolutely bonkers. I used to live in Arizona but i was being bullied and there wasn't a lot of snow so we moved out here so far it has been great i have a boyfriend named kyle and i have tons of friends some of them are Teishia penman, Brandy Conners, Angel Adams, Tiffany Reinard, John Able, Donavan Uplinger, Brandyn Belisky, Aleya Hannah, Brittany Lucas, Christina Mahan, Raven Jeffery. And many more. I live in Reynoldsville in the middle of nowhere in a small farmhouse. I have 1 dog named coco and 3 cats named pinky, garfield and shadow. I think my life is good the way it is but i have 2 goals that i want to try to achieve throughout my life, and those are meeting Eminem and becoming a famous singer i am going to try as hard as i can to achieve those goals. Other than that i think my life is as good as it can be for now.

Tree Information

The name of my tree is the Cherry tree the scientific name for a cherry tree is Prunus cerasus. Black knot is caused by a fungus dibotryon morbosum and if affects the cherry tree. The cherry tree provides shade for plants, the fruits provide food for birds and bats. The fruit from the cherry tree is canned or preserved and marketed. The twig of a cherry tree consists of the terminal bud , bud scale, lateral bud, lenticel, leaf scar, bud scale scar, bundle trace, node, internode, pith, thorns and spines. The cherry tree is located in Asia, Europe, North Africa, and most of North America. The thing that all cherry trees have in common is that the leaves look the same.


Rye

rye
Rye is grown in The U.S, Europe, and Canada. In Europe most rye production is for bread grains. However, Canada and the U.S. grow rye for both grain and forage, with Canadians growing mostly grain and US farmers dedicating less than half their rye to grain. Other uses for rye include rye whiskeys, most vodkas, medicinal uses, animal bedding and fruit and vegetable mulch. Interesting information about rye is that Rye is beneficial to the environment. It is used as a cover crop to reduce soil erosion, enhance soil water retention, contribute a green manure, and to reduce weed growth ( reducing the need for herbicides. Rye is closely related to wheat and barley, and originated as a weed growing in grain fields. Rye is a hardy grain, more tolerant of frost and drought than is wheat. It is the most winter hardy of all cereals, and is frequently grown under conditions where other cereals fail. Rye's drought tolerance is due to it's highly developed root system which uses 20-30% less water than wheat, however differing varieties of rye fair better than other under drought conditions.

Potato

diffusion and osmosis

Beaker 1: Potato in plain water

Weight:
Beginning of lab: 2.3 grams
End of lab: 3.0 grams
Potato 1 was in plain water and the only thing it did was gain weight.


beaker 2: Potato in salt water

Weight:
Beginning of lab: 3.0 grams
End of lab: 2.0 grams
potato 2 was in salt water and lost weight due to water leaving the potato.


Beaker 3: Sausage

Contains: starch solution and iodine

The iodine went through sausage tubing and turned it purplish black.

Protists Lab

daphina.jpg
Name: daphnia
Heterotroph
Where found/facts: Daphnia never grow larger than a couple of millimeters no matter how well they eat. They are also called water fleas. The difference between daphnia and fleas is that daphnia’s are transparent, have a shell and live in water.

BROWN_HYDRA.jpg
Name: Brown Hydra
Heterotroph
Where found/facts:
able to hang on in the roughest of conditions like fast moving rivers and on beaches of lakes where waves can occur. Most brown hydras are in Europe and is a very abundant species.

DNA replication model project

this is the DNA molecule before the replication process

this is a key of the different things in the replication process

the DNA has been split

2 new DNA strands are being formed

the new DNA strands are formed and are paired with the
original strands
